Derrick Lewis takes aim at Francis Ngannou in expletive laden rant

Derrick Lewis discusses potential fights with Covid concerns meaning Francis Ngannou could be his next opponent.

After an impressive first-round knockout against Chris Daukaus, Derrick Lewis was asked about who he could see winning in the Ciryl Gane vs Francis Ngannou fight.

With his next fight possibly involving one of the two, Lewis gave an honest opinion on them both.

“I really don’t care. I don’t care who wins. Ciryl, I guess he’s a good dude, he’s a likeable guy. I couldn’t find anything wrong with him, personality-wise. Outside of fighting, he seems like a pretty cool dude.

“Ngannou on the other hand, he can kiss my ass. He seems like a dickhead 24/7 so f*** him.”

After emphasising that he really didn’t want another five-round fight, Dana White’s recent nod, that Lewis could step in if Gane couldn’t travel, seemed to surprise Lewis.

“Awww shit, if it’s going to be co-main event?”

After having it cleared up for him that it would be for the belt, Lewis felt conflicted as he wants the opportunity but was looking to avoid going five rounds.

“We’ll see, I guess we’ll see. Damn, I just told y’all I don’t any more five rounds but ok, we’ll see.

“I want the money… I guess I’ll be ready. Somewhat.”

With Stipe Miocic returning, however, Lewis believes that a fight between the two would be the best option as he stressed that three rounds was his wish.

“It doesn’t matter who it is, I don’t care. If it’s three rounds, I guess stipe. No matter who it is, three rounds man.”

Three round title fights…
